WANT TO know about city's famous tourist spots, hotels nearby these places, bus routes to reach them, movies being screened at different theatres, telephone directory and all that makes Hyderabad tick? Then just logon to HamaraShehar.com, a latest city-based multilingual portal, and get all the required information -- past, present and future.

From Cyber Towers to museums, planetarium and famous shopping centre, all important places in the city have been mentioned in this website. All you need to do is click the mouse, surf through the site and draw your itinerary before hitting the road, saving on time, money and effort. At a time when there is a deluge of websites, which promise to be a gateway to loads of information about your own city and to any place in the world, HamaraShehar.com, meaning "our city", too is trying to reach out to the people with comprehensive and user-friendly information about Hyderabad.

"The idea behind launching this portal is to give specific information about the city and all that is happening here to the people. Unlike other portals, we are giving concise information to the browsers. Other sites are usually filled with graphics and bobard the browsers with loads of information which leaves them confused", points out B. Prasad of HamaraShehar.com. The site promotes local talent and culture, instead of presenting the Indianised version of western content. An unique feature of the site is that browsers can view it in any of the 15 available colour schemes. Soon, information on shopping sports and sale, real estate and jobs will also be included in the site. As of now, English and Telugu versions are made available to the public and Hindi version will be added within a couple of weeks.

"Instead of starting a real e-commerce on the Net, we chose to bring consumers and business, including small and medium, together and help them both.

This section educates consumers through comsumer guides and helps them finding right product at right price," adds Prasad.
